The one thing that I didn't know is that you are as afraid of mice (maybe more so) than I am. I understand the fear. Also, I didn't know about PC putting your wedding ring on the wrong finger! Priceless info! Thank you for all you do with your blog. You are ministering to so many people, and you are so faithful with it. Blessings! rlb
I enjoyed reading the 100 things

I sent in a prayer request yesterday and received a response
almot immediately. Thank you.

I love your 100 things, Laurie. We have lots in common! Congrats on your 100th blog post!
I read all 100. I'm proud of myself. I usually don't have that great of attention span. ;)
We share the same middle name, and don't play the piano (and our husbands are pastors) GASP!
Congrats on 100 posts! Thanks for your online ministries!
The more rare the steak...the more flavor!

AMAZING POST!!!
The way you wrote down your 100 random facts about you was just neat and entertaining. I can't wait till I get to write my 100th post! May I do this? Oh, will I get there?! Thanks for sharing. I do not remember so much now, but it's nice to know I can just flip few pages of your blog to dig this info sheet. I'm still beaming!!!:D
I didn't know that coconut cream pie was your favorite. I can make a good one and will make you one soon. I love and appreciate all you do. You are a blessing.
